Two and four legged athletes will compete in the inaugural Two By Four Race Against Childhood & Canine Cancer. This unique race will feature a timed 5k race and an untimed 1-mile Kids Fun Run/Dog Jog (That’s 7-miles in dog years J)

Why This Special Race? Cancer is the #1 disease-related killer of children, with brain cancer having the highest mortality rate. About 6 million pet dogs develop many of the same cancers as kids do, and nearly half of them will die from their disease. For both of these patient groups, there are precious few resources spent on finding a cure for this devastating disease. Could Man’s Best Friend Help Us “Crack the Cure” for Childhood Cancer? Studying and treating cancer in man’s best friend when they get sick can help us better understand these same cancers in children and accelerate a cure for both - a rare WIN-WIN!

Who Benefits?Your involvement will help to further critical research that can move the needle towards better medicines and a cure. 100% of net proceeds will go to support the work of the Canines-N-Kids Foundation and Smashing Walnuts Foundation in their missions to fight cancer in our most vulnerable populations – children and man’s best friend

Virtual Run Option: $30 and run wherever you are! All Virtual runners will receive a commemorative race shirt.
